The staff are great, the breakfast was enjoyable especially the view each morning sitting out on the terrace. The snorkeling was good too, definitely better done at high tide to avoid walking on and destroying coral. For the price we were impressed, yes some areas need attention but you can see it is being updated. Special mention for staff Tom, Leonie, and Carys they were so friendly and helpful but all the staff were great. Would definitely return to Fitzroy Island next time we are in Cairns.

Great resort on island. Read mixed reviews before booking but was happy with my stay in early May. On days I was there the Conditions were not great for snorkelling but there are daily activities you can do and I hiked all available trails. The lighthouse/summit track is very steep so was challenging but rewarding at top. Wifi was good but dropped one day so just asked reception for a new code and that worked. Friendly and helpful staff. Did turtle recovery centre tour and nature walk. Lovely pool area. Decent food at the bar area further away (forget the name). Beach was nice but beware scraping yourself on (dead or alive) coral! I agree with some reviews that they didn’t seem to advocate much environmental awareness (no recycling for example). A unique experience in a picturesque setting.

Apart from that, everyone was amazing and the Electrician was very helpful too. Thank you -my son will not forget his birthday in a hurry. The Up-Grade was Really Appreciated.

The location was good being close to areas to snorkle and close to the lighthouse and summit. The food at the restaurant was good but there needs to be one or two more food outlets. Checkin would be much better at 10am. 3pm is way too late ! If there is a late check in there needs to be free lockers for luggage and wet snorkling and wetsuits hangers rather than carrying wet gear until 3pm. A ferry at 3pm in addition to the morning one and 12:15 and 5pm ferry would be very much appreciated. Also the rooms have no reading bedside lights. The rooms also face a rock wall, rather than the ocean which is a big shame being on an island.

Overall, the place was beautiful. Our room was mediocre - didn't realize we had reserved one without windows. The snorkeling was great across from the turtle center. Nudey beach is beautiful but the snorkeling there is not nearly as good.

The property was remote and beautiful. It is a small, unpopulated tropical island that is a national park. There were very little food options at the two restaurants and no option to buy snacks or food. It was interesting that there was a full kitchen in the suite but no where to buy food to cook.

The experience was fine - definitely not the most hospitable experience, but it had the basics. I suppose the accommodation was inexpensive so you’re paying for what you’re getting. The island itself is beautiful and is worth visiting, especially to swim, snorkel, and hike.
